Dr Seuss and Julia Donaldson have written some amazing children's books and poetry! Can you think of any stories you know that have been written by our two poets?

Dr Seuss was a children's author, poet and cartoonist. He wrote over 60 children's books including the best loved classics, 'The Cat in the Hat', 'Green Eggs and Ham' and 'Fox in Socks.' We are so excited to learn all about him this year in Team Seuss!

Julia Donaldson is a children's author and poet and has written over 100 children's books and poems. She has written well known stories such as 'The Gruffalo', 'A Squash and a Squeeze' and 'The Smeds and the Smoos,' We are looking forward to sharing her books this year in Team Donaldson! 

In Foundation Stage we use our ASPIRE learning attributes to help us - attention, support, perseverance, improvement, reflection and exploration.
